George,
I do not want it to be misunderstood that the Quantum proposal in any way
relates to the current Quantum implementation - it does not. Indeed, we have
different implementations for different products (and different customers). I
would be very surprized if that were not true for other companies as well.
My goal is to make a proposal that solves the problem in a standard manner and
is BACKWARD compatible with existing implementations (at least as much as
possible). i.e. I do not want the new system to incorrectly program an old
drive - ideally it will generate a CHECK CONDITION if the new technique is
attempted.
As usual, the network appears to be flakely - could someone send to the the DEC
reply on the proposal (I did not get a copy).
